Experience The Life In Hogwarts With Harry Potter Digital Escape Room

Fiction June, 21, 2025

Sydney Krawiec, a Youth Services Librarian at Peters Township Public Library in Pennsylvania has created the Hogwarts Digital Escape Room with a handout from one of the Potterheads. With this new concept, you and your kids can peregrinate to the world of Harry Potter. Their journey starts right after they get off the table having their dinner on the first night at Hogwarts.

When everything’s over for the very first day and students gather at the common rooms, the prefects introduce a new game to the newcomers. All they need to do is somehow make it back to the common room after crossing all hindrances. However, let your kids be bereft of the fact they’d learn real-world concepts.

Students will be given riddles to solve and they need to answer it before they can proceed to the next stage of the game. In the process, there won’t be any treasure pertaining to Harry Potter, but all about the real lessons instead. Yes, there’d be clues as well but the questions would be usually from the Dewey Decimal System, conversion of galleons to knuts, and several more riddles like this before jumping to one of the next escape rooms.

Well, it’s an online game. Created in March 2020, the game became a sensation with more than 200,000 users from 22 countries registering themselves to be a participant. The players are mostly from New Zealand, India, Germany, South Africa, Australia, Italy, etc. The popular game has also been translated into seven different languages: Basque, Spanish, Italian, French-Canadian, Hrvatski, French, and Dutch.

Above all, every age group can showcase their skills even if they aren’t a big fan of Harry Potter. Several public libraries have been sharing links to the escape room on Facebook so that they can bring new followers onto the website. Ms. Sydney has also created a video to walk you through the steps to create an escape room. It will all be done using Google Forms. The video is available on the library’s YouTube channel.

What was assumed to be the Super Heroes Escape Room got canceled in the middle of the pandemic. So, Ms. Sydney came up with another idea that can bind friends and families together to work on the puzzles right from their abodes. With the help of previously created rooms based on the Harry Potter theme, she devised a new one and obtained an idea of a virtual escape room.
